[Digestion] Biogas burner and light Design...

Paul, Hello,

There is a very useful study on biogas stoves and lights done by SNV 
(Netherlands Development Organisation) in 2009. The URL is 
www.snvworld.org/en/Documents/Biogas_stoves_and_lamps_test_report_2009.pdf 
<http://www.snvworld.org/en/Documents/Biogas_stoves_and_lamps_test_report_2009.pdf>. 
Most of the burners designed by biogas projects in several countries 
(including the one in which I used to be involved, which is now BSP 
Nepal) were found to be less efficient than Indian and Chinese standards 
required. The report suggests that stove designs need to be improved.

I have added a link to this report to the Biogas Wikispaces 
<http://biogas.wikispaces.com/Biogas+burners> page on burners.

Best wishes,

David F
